If I understand it right, a window manager will create a new
window like the orignal window with decorations and with the root
as the parent, and then reparent the original window so that
its new parent is the new window with decorations.

In a program I am doing, I am selecting a window with the mouse and
it is giving me the window generated by the window manager (the
one with decoartions).  How can I get the original window
when I have this new decoarted window?  Does the function
XmuClientWindow achieve this (I am currently working
with release 3, so I cannot tell if it will work)?

Any help would be appreciated.
